Rays' Shane McClanahan Placed on IL with Back Issue
The Tampa Bay Rays have placed left-handed pitcher Shane McClanahan on the 15-day injured list due to mid-back tightness. McClanahan has been a key player for the Rays this season, with a 2.53 ERA in 17 starts. The team hopes he will only miss one start, taking advantage of the upcoming All-Star break. In the meantime, left-hander Jalen Beeks has been recalled to replace McClanahan. The Rays, who currently have the best record in MLB, are looking to strengthen their pitching staff ahead of the trade deadline.
